(AP) - A Dothan pastor is urging county commissioners to drop their support for an electronic bingo pavilion at a proposed country music development.

The Rev. Ricky Plummer said the video gaming operation at the Country Crossing development is a first step into gambling.

The Bethal Baptist Church pastor called the electronic electronic gambling machines "the crack cocaine of the industry" and said it could
spark increased crime and poverty levels.

Houston County commissioners did not respond to his request.

A bingo pavilion is one element of Country Crossing, a music
entertainment destination to be built on 375 acres of land just south of Dothan. Developer Ronnie Gilley plans to break ground on the site on Monday.
